Why You'll Like It - Tucked away within one of Kenwyn’s most prestigious residential addresses, this exceptional seven-bedroom period townhouse combines grand architectural elegance with the relaxed versatility of an outstanding family home. Moments from the heart of Truro yet enjoying a wonderfully private setting, the property offers an increasingly rare blend of scale, character and lifestyle.

From the moment you step inside, the proportions are immediately impressive. Magnificent high ceilings, exquisite original cornicing, beautiful fireplaces and wonderfully tall sash windows create a sense of timeless sophistication throughout. The reception spaces are both elegant and adaptable, with a series of beautifully interconnected rooms allowing buyers to curate the house entirely around their own way of living — whether formal entertaining, music rooms, home working or relaxed family life.

The principal sitting room is particularly striking, centred around a gorgeous bay window overlooking the mature landscaped gardens and swimming pool. Throughout the house, period detail has been carefully preserved, including charming original staff call bells which offer a subtle reminder of the property’s rich heritage.

The kitchen/breakfast room is, inviting and perfectly designed for modern family living, complete with a wood-burning stove and direct access to the gardens and pool terrace. Practicality has been considered at every turn, with a large integral double garage, utility areas, extensive ancillary space and multiple staircases adding flexibility to the accommodation.

The principal suite enjoys elevated views towards the river, extensive fitted storage and a luxurious en suite bathroom, while numerous additional bedrooms and bathrooms provide exceptional space for family and guests alike. The upper floor has been cleverly arranged as a leisure and entertainment level, currently incorporating a gym, sauna, games room and movie projection wall, alongside further guest accommodation.

Outside, the grounds are a genuine surprise. Mature, private and wonderfully established, the garden has a large level lawn with a play house, perfect for games, hidden pathways, an elevated sun terrace and a superb swimming pool complex complete with its own shower facilities. A setting perfectly designed for summer entertaining, family gatherings and long afternoons spent outdoors.

Beyond its architectural beauty, the house also carries a fascinating historical significance, having reportedly played a role in preparations surrounding the Normandy Landings during the Second World War.

Elegant yet welcoming, substantial and immensely characterful, this is a landmark Truro home of rare quality — offering the atmosphere and stature of a distinguished London townhouse, combined with the space, privacy and lifestyle of one of Truro’s finest family residences.
